@NTA I've never been in the camp that it's a positive to have a missus who is into the same stuff as you. In fact I'd go so far as to say it would suck if my wife wanted to watch every game of rugby with me, and come play golf with me, and trawl through NBA playoff games together.
A man has to have his man-time!
@NTA said in Aussie Rugby:
I agree, but I'm not asking Lou Ransome to marry me.
I think you both raise a good point.
The ideal would be a wife with absolutely no interest in sport, etc. But a mistress, who does,. -

@Tim there is the makings of a decent side there, but they are so light at 4-8

@Bovidae when every other senior lock leaves at the same time, i think everyone is in favour

I think talent wise 6-8 they are as strong as they have been for a very long time. Might take some time for it to translate to test level but talent wise it's exciting for Aus.

Full time: Force 5 - 57 Reds
Nuff said.
Benefit of billionaire funding...
Force couldn't exit and Reds looked pretty good, well run with O'Connor leading the backline.

Yeah we totally need the force in super rugby...

Force need recruitment.
Have a higher upside ceiling than alternates.

Based on their entire history this statement is pretty much bullshit

I'll stick up for them.
They were thrust into this SuperAU competition at the last minute, and forced to move across the other side of the country where they have been for about two months now.
A number of their recruits have been last minute rush jobs (Lance, Prior, Kahui) and on top of that they've had a bad injury toll (which I'm sure can be attributed partly to the circumstances they are in).
In the last two weeks the wheels have fallen off a bit, but before then they have been competitive every week.
I don't think they will be a Super powerhouse but it's also pretty harsh to judge them on this competition, which has been stacked against them from the beginning.
